VIII

Un sol asustado se cuela por la ventana, marca acentos averiados sobre la silla, sobre las botas caídas, hace colisión con la flor mustia que me quebranta y, sordamente se hace hostil, asomado en mí, la más huidiza de la página blanca, como un vacío presto a estrangularme.

XII

Yo sé que me tragabas la piel en el lamido de mi espalda. Sé que no somos iguales por eso la unión es siempre un sueño. Yo sé que tus labios penetraban mis sienes en una lengua demente y hostil, en tanto que mis dominios capitulaban. Sé que hacías irrupción en mis ruidos, en mi fuente y ya no me reconozco. Yo sé que te burlabas de mi heroica rigidez cuando brotaban estelares mis senos con el roce de tus dientes. Sé que no te importan mis contradicciones ni formalismos, mientras exalte majestuosamente tu lecho. Yo sé que es posible apaciguar mi libertad intima si me cavas el cuerpo con afilada persistencia. Y no me dejas ir, cuando la sangre desconocida te hace el fuego y la noche es, tribu, quejido y selva. Nunca me dejas ir, tierra de frutos sin resistencia, y ya estoy herida. Me vas fabricando con dedos curiosos allí donde era enigma. Vas abriendo el horizonte que es savia nerviosa con un canto de tempestades. Sorda del mundo consiento en el láudano de tu ceremonia, hasta dejar partir el sonajero adormecido. Te lo he dicho tanto, no quiero que me hables, no cambies la historia.

Sé que acompañarás a la estación de tren a la somnámbula, como otro jueves, que al cruzar la ciudad que los separa, reirá [de ti], hará crónicas inútiles, se hablará en voz alta, y negará que existes.

Prière
Oh Seigneur,
Béni mon amour et béni la prière de mon amour
Et la paix qui donne la grand alliance de notre amour.
Béni chaque épreuve, béni le quotidien et béni la volonté d\\\'un avenir
Fait d\\\'une joie, d\\\'un respect et d\\\'une tendresse permanente

Béni l\\\'approndissement d\\\'une liberté plus profonde et plus essentielle,
la liberté ontologique de choisir un seul être et d\\\'être choisi par un seul être
Bénis-nous, Seigneur, qui nous recevons avec admiration comme un don

Béni soit cette clarté, bénis-moi et rends-moi digne de cet amour
Béni soit-il, mon amour, tel qu\\\'il est, que je choisi pour le restant de mes jours
Oh Seigneur
Béni notre amour qui est prière
